I would say if you plan on buying a huge PCI-e card and your going to buy a case, always buy a E-ATX case, it has more width and length to accomodate the cards without them being pressed closed to HD's.
yea...u're right. i got the biggest that Cooler Master had..its expensive...but well worth it. has plenty of room even after being fully tricked out and all the cables stowed away neatly
I hate these kind of topics because usually people say this card is better than the other one without even looking at benchmarks for each one of the cards... I suggest you wait till Christmas till you buy knowing that a new range of cards are coming out.
And yes the 5970 owns the gtx 295, that's why it's about priced at 600$ USD

u're right i hate these topics too. 5970 has just released much after GTX295 so its quite understandable that its faster and therefore much more expensive but do wait a bit longer..till nVidia's Fermi cards r out. then the real fun begins

In terms of benchmarks, at the moment ATI uses 4x1000mhz memory clock. Whereas the 295 has 2x1000mhz.
But most things that are benchmarked, like Crysis doesnt fully implement Cuda well. Which Nvidia cards have.
And once games trully use PhysX hardware, then the 285/295 would beat ATI cards in that retrospect.
But once the 4xx series is released you will see why Nvidia is back on top.
